From Shanty to Chic Kitchen Sign…

So…I found a great piece of wood with some horrible painting on it.  It was a DIY welcome sign and was on sale at Goodwill for $1.oo.  I only have one picture of it and in the picture you’re not able to see the monstrosity it was. Okay, that was probably too harsh…but I’m just keepin’ it real!!  The colors were awful!  But after some painting and some cute vinyl lettering it’s now a very chic sign for my kitchen.

1.  My son is holding the monstrosity unusual sign.  On top of it was a wooden sconce that I am working on at the moment…say tuned for that one!!

2. I painted the wood with white semi-gloss paint and used a sponge brush

3. I purchased my vinyl lettering on Ebay for $3.00

4.  I took the backing off the lettering and centered it on the sign and firmly pressed down

5.  I slowly pulled back the paper

6.  And Voila!!!  A more polished and chic sign for my kitchen for $4.00
